tonvanderliet After 25 years of browsing IMDB and always resisting the urge to create an account, it never seemed necessary. Then I just did that to write a blurb about this film.I get it that this film didn't do much for a lot of people, reading through many of the 1 star reviews I get it that it it's probably a pretentious piece of crap. (paraphrasing the 20 or so 1 star reviews)However, for me it worked. The slow moving scenes, the absurdities, the music and the unhinged plot, it all comes together eventually. I've watched the final scene 3 times since watching the film last night for the first time and each time it's making me wanting to see it again.European cinema; pretentious and boring but great nudity when it matters!

christianloteyro Youth is one of the movies that will visually manipulate you to know the story without even a written lyrics, I love the tableaus in the beginning of the film and how the story and character develop. Also, the story is well derive and will make you see how characters evolve from time to time.

rgruoner I hope everybody has a good friend with whom he talks only of the lighter things in life and not the troublesome, profound stuff. This film is not that friend, but it is about two men subjectively at the end of their life that are this friend for each other. It is about important relationships with one another (family, friends, strangers) and oneself. These relationships form the outline of a life lived despite its inescapable death. Certainly, not every scene touches everyone the same way, but I rarely saw a movie with so much emotional backlash because of little scenes, like the conversation about riding a bike or the metaphor of the looking glass. I will remember them dearly.

Charlie Green This movie really was awful.Some one obviously has money to burn and he/she may as well have.The ONLY thing I enjoyed was the scene where miss universe was naked.WOW. For all the pretentious filmmakers efforts to create a visual feast ( and dam the story ) they did not even come close to the natural feminine wonder of this woman.I'm so glad I watched it on DVD so I could fast forward all the really cringe worthy scenes. What a joke. Oh I don't 'get it' I hear you say?This should have been a picture book/coffee table book for adults with little speech bubbles containing the fluff ahem I mean dialogue. Do your intellect a favor and give this a wide berth!I don''t get how a man injecting paint into his ass then propelling it out over the canvas is art either...
